Ok this couldnt come at a worse moment i just took a few shots of my bro playing and as i look back at them i see white specs not many just one or two so i look at the lens and there u have it 2 white specs dust or whatever but doing a search on here for ways in which to get rid of specs/fungus the only ways i could find is by taking the lens off and cleaning the sensor?

but seeing as i have a Pro 1 and the lens cannot be taken off what do i do?????

Try some shots in complete darkness to eliminate the possibility of it being a stuck/hot pixel.
Also, when you zoom in on the image, does it appear to affect just one pixel?

That looks like it might be a hot pixel. Does it appear in the same spot in other dark shots like this?

Best test for hot pixels is taking some long exposure shots with the lens cap on.

I did some tests a while back here:

That is not dust or fungus. It's a hot pixel.
